Summary

The word from inside the club is that it's unlikely Liverpool will be signing a centre-back this month. But can they afford not to? Dan Morgan is joined by Ollie Connolly, Joel Rabinowitz and Mark Wakefield to answer that question in the first Liverpool.com podcast of 2021. The show returns after the Reds went on a three-match Premier League winless run for the first time since April 2018. So the panel assess what is currently going wrong for Jurgen Klopp’s side – by their incredibly high standards – and what they can do to fix it. Would a new centre-back solve everything? That question leads to a lengthy discussion about the club’s current transfer stance and whether it should change, before the podcast ends with a preview of the FA Cup tie at Aston Villa. Please note, the podcast was recorded before Villa reported an outbreak of coronavirus in their squad.
